The Safe Cig, who claims to be the first electronic cigarette company in the United States, is a family owned company based in California. They privately fund all research and engineering of all of their products. They are determined to develop their technology so the e cig does not become a passing fad.

The Safe Cig battery contains a flow sensor, which powers the e cig as the smoker takes a drag. The flow sensor allows the battery to instantly power down when not in use. Once the flow sensor senses a smoker taking a drag it immediately powers up the cartridge. The Safe Cig contains the same battery used in some of the top rated smart phones. Their battery also contains a “PCB” micro-circuit board which allows the battery to interact with the hardware to monitor its performance. The Safe Cig resembles a traditional cigarette. The Safe Cig also offers a sleek piano black battery for those who desire a fancier look. Smokers who prefer the black battery will want to be sure they order plenty of The Safe Cig’s Reload Skins to cover their cartridges. Each battery ordered is tested, and will arrive about 80% charged for immediate use.

The Safe Cig offers 3 starter kits to satisfy smokers of every level. The Starter Kit, which sells for $69.95, includes a battery, a USB charger, a wall adapter, and 5 refill cartridges. This kit is ideal for the social smoker. The Starter Kit Pro, which sells for $89.95, includes 2 batteries, a USB charger, a wall adapter, and 5 refill cartridges. This kit is ideal for the everyday smoker. The Starter Kit Deluxe, which sells for $137.95, 3 batteries, 2 USB chargers, a wall adapter, a car charger, a safe case, and 10 refill cartridges. With everything needed for smokers to enjoy their experience anywhere, the Starter Kit Deluxe is The Safe Cig’s hottest seller.

The Safe Cig cartridges are available in 6 nicotine levels. Their cartridges also contain a “catcher” which is designed to ensure that the liquid does not leak into a smoker’s mouth. Flavors offered include Traditional for a bold taste, Classic Tobacco for a smoother lighter flavor, and Menthol.

Smokers who will be traveling abroad will be delighted to find The Safe Cig also offers a Euro Wall Charger. While the Euro Charger will work abroad, it will not work in the UK. However, The Safe Cig is currently developing The UK Charger.

The Safe Cig stands behind their product. Besides offering free US shipping, they also offer a 30 day guarantee, and lifetime warranty. Although The Safe Cig offers shipping worldwide, shipping costs will apply.

On Tuesday, January 25, 2011, Raleigh North Carolina is expected to adopt an ordinance that will ban tobacco use in public parks and greenways operated by the city according to reports in the timesnews.com. The goal of the city is to eliminate second hand smoke and pollution in public areas. Officials have also become increasingly concerned about children putting the numerous traditional cigarette butts they find on the ground into their mouths. Bars and eateries are already tobacco free in the Raleigh area.

While Raleigh Mayor Meeker, along with nonsmokers, believes, “the public deserves to have pristine parks”, many smokers are upset about this possible ban. Smokers believe this ban would take away their rights. They feel the city should supply a designated smoking area. Some smokers also believe that as long as they are not affecting other people they should be allowed to smoke in the park.

Electronic cigarettes are a great chemical free alternative to traditional cigarettes. Although e cigs are not considered a cessation product, they have already helped thousands quit smoking. These electronic devices, however, do not contain tar, tobacco, or any of the thousands of carcinogens that traditional cigarettes contain. Smokers no longer have to worry about where to put their butts. A vapor, instead of smoke, is released so there is no second hand smoke. Since electronic cigarettes do not emit smoke they can be enjoyed just about anywhere there is a ban.

There are many different brands smokers can choose. Most offer starter kits that include everything a smoker needs to enjoy their experience. Electronic cigarettes come in different strengths as well as flavors. Smokers can even choose an e cig that contains no nicotine at all. Some brands include a pack that will charge the e cigs while they are on the go. There are two part as well as three part e cigs. There are e cigs that can be refilled by the smoker with ejuice. There are even e pipes and e cigars.

Traditional cigarette smokers who have already made the switch have found it an easy transition. E cigs are more cost effective than traditional cigarettes. They will not make the user or the people around them smell. They are easy to use, and are rechargeable. In addition to the fact that electronic cigarettes can be enjoyed where regular tobacco products are prohibited, smokers can enjoy a healthier life style.

Blu cigs e cigarettes, the industry’s premiere ecig brand, has informed cigarettereviews.org of an exciting change coming to Blu in 2011! Blu will be launching a major upgrade to their product. Very soon Blu fans will be able to enjoy a two piece electronic cigarette of their favorite brand.

Blu cigs is close to launching their new two piece design which will combine flavor cartridges with their atomizer. Combining the two pieces will provide much better, more consistent flavor cartridges that will also last longer. Cartomizers make it easier for a smoker to enjoy their experience. Smokers only need to attach a new cartomizer. Smokers will enjoy a more intense flavor with a cartomizer. As with Blu’s three piece flavor cartridges, the new cartomizers will also be made exclusively with Johnson Creek smoke juice. Johnson Creek flavors are made in the USA exclusively for Blu. Flavors that will be available for the new two piece Blucig include Classic Tobacco, Magnificent Menthol, Java Jolt, and Cherry Crush. Various nicotine levels, from full-flavored to non-nicotine, will also be available.

Once available, the new two piece Blucig will be included in a starter kit. The kit will also be offered at the same low price of $69.95. The kit will include 5 FREE flavor cartomizers. Smokers needing refills will be able to purchase a pack of 5 refills for a reduced price of only $12! Cartomizers not only make smoking an ecig easier, they also make it even more cost effective.

Blucig customers will love this new design. The ease of the 2 piece ecig combined with a more enjoyable vaping experience is sure to be a big seller. Cigaretterviews.org will follow up with an updated Blu cigs video review for 2011 once this exciting new upgrade is released.

Here are some questions we asked Blu that current Blu Cigs customers might want to know:

Will the new Blu cigs cartomizers work with the current Blu cig batteries?
Yes.  They work seamlessly with the new batteries and no change is required.

Will users who have purchased the Blu cig starter kits be required to buy a new battery?
Nope.  They are good to go with the same starter kits and batteries.

Will you still sell the current Blu cigs cartridges?
After the switch tomorrow (1/18/2011) morning we will no longer be selling the current cartridges.  If someone bought a number of cartridges though we will be able to send them atomizers or a new set of the cartomizers.
